Man Utd are like two different teams: great with Rooney, nothing special without him. Bayern will fancy their chances of getting to the final I think.

No English clubs in the semi-finals for the first time in 7 years!

well Barcelona will win, I am sorry for Rooney, he's a great player although I never liked Man United

Bayern has a poor defence. They will make the final I think. With Arjen Robben (his goal was super) at his best it will be an exciting match.

Liverpool v Benfica tonight

My sister in law gave birth to my second niece this morning. Has to be a good omen!!

2-0 to us is my prediction

Ok, it was not the year of Bordeaux, but it was an good european year... We deserve to pass (penalty in the first match against Lyon...
And now?? Barcelona shall win?

I think we may need a general football chat thread??

instead of just a CL thread?

With the World Cup coming, I think this should be renamed the soccer thread, rather than having one thread for each competition.

My predictions for the first leg:

Inter 2 Barcelona 0
Bayern 3 Lyon 1

With the greatest of respect, I do hope not.

I suspect most of Europe (and by that I mean everyone except Inter & Real Madrid fans) wants Barcelona to win.

My prediction - 1-1 tonight and then Barcelona to tonk Inter next week.

I hope not too, but I think the special one will tactically outwit the special # 10...... in the first leg at least

Barca had to drive for 16 hours to get to the game, bound to be abit tired...

Inter to sneak it 1 - 0

Inter Milan: Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Zanetti, Motta, Cambiasso, Pandev, Milito, Sneijder, Eto'o.

Subs: Orlandoni, Cordoba, Stankovic, Muntari, Materazzi, Chivu, Balotelli.


Barcelona: Valdes, Dani Alves, Pique, Puyol, Maxwell, Xavi, Busquets, Keita, Ibrahimovic, Messi, Pedro.

Subs: Pinto, Marquez, Bojan, Henry, Milito, Abidal, Toure Yaya.

I was correct, Inter did win by 2 goals! But i think Barca's away goal will give them a good chance in the 2nd leg.
